Takoma Academy Preparatory School (TA Prep) is designed to provide a holistic learning experience, nurture faith, develop character and promote academic excellence for students in grades Kindergarten – 8th grade. It is our firm belief that faith and learning must unite to ensure everlasting academic excellence is instilled in each student entrusted to our care. “It is the work of true education to develop this power (akin to that of the Creator), to train the youth to be thinkers, and not mere reflectors of other men’s thought.” Our sole goal is to “send forth boys and girls strong to think and to act…boys and girls “who possess breadth of mind, clearness of thought, and the courage of their convictions.” (Education, White, pg.17) We are committed to providing students with a strong foundation of skills needed that support their education. This is inclusive of providing a program with opportunities for on-going success. When TA Prep students experience success, their self-worth and self-image is enhanced. Students are then excited to be creative decision-makers who take on challenges, and use strategies in problem solving. It is our desire to educate the masses; students from diverse, racial, ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic groups reflected in our community. We strive to provide a safe, healthy environment where diverse groups can grow and learn together. We serve a God of excellence and we strive to provide excellent education for each student that enters the doors of Takoma Academy Preparatory School.
